Real Facebook ad that doubles as a god-tier shitpost

Jeremy’s Rectal Razors

That’s not a razor.

THIS is a razor.

What's funny about that scene, is he hides his actual razor and starts shaving with the blade when he has an audience.

Of course. It's not political if it's just The Way Things Should Be™

• The two Races: White and Political
• The two Genders: Male and Political
• The two Sexualities: Straight and Political

Their views are never "political" because theirs is the "natural state" of things. They're on top because they deserve to be, and they deserve to be on top because they are. It's anything that deviates from that so-called natural state that's being political.

Because they feel affronted and so this is "perfectly acceptable" revenge/payback. They do it with everything... It's also why they're ok with dictator Trump. When he says in plain English that he is seeking revenge they feel the same way and want the same thing because revenge implies that they were initially "wronged."

They always play the victim, it's so absurd...

People: "Don't be a raging racist asshole, just treat all people with respect."

The right: "WAHHHHH! THE LEFT ARE AUTHORITARIANS WHO HATE US!"

Something that conforms to or supports my views: not political.

Something that contradicts my views: political.

"Uncle Cletus's 400 grit toilet paper"

Are you tired of those 'woke' and cushy liberal toilet paper made from weak and pansy processed cellulose? Try Uncle Cletus's proprietary silicon carbide formula enhanced with sand sourced from All American beaches! Now you can show your patriotism by bleeding red from the ass during every trump-approved toilet visit

Just as an aside, been a 49ers fan my whole life. This whole recent “white guy in a red cap” thing makes me wish I had two more hands so I could give four middle fingers.

But dude, liberal tears butt wipes or whatever..these rubes eat that shit up

Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).

This is a fucking Ben Shapiro product lmao

They probably have another brand which appeals only to gender fluid save the whales hippies.

Conservatives when they realise that LGBTQ people and racial minorities also have money and spend money

I only sell my axis-themed WW2 memorabilia flags to white men with hereditary or other baldness. They need to be at least

lifts arm with palm flat

This tall.

There is an entire coffee company dedicated to mUrica. It’s just fucking coffee but if you sell it right these idiots will buy literally anything that even pretends they be American and conservative

Dr Pepper 10! It's not for women!

Is a real product, with a real commercial, really saying that line. And it wasn't even for political reasons, they just wanted men to drink their diet soda.

It's because they've conditioned their audience to believe a few key things:

1. "Voting" with your wallet is what matters over all other forms of action.
2. Giving money to "woke" companies harms you as an individual.
3. Buying products is the best way to signal your value as a person.

Let's break that down.

They want money to be more important than voting, because they understand that their political demographic does not win the popular vote in most cases, and their policies are inherently not popular with the majority. But when they can get money instead, then use that to influence votes and policy, well, that just might get them the policies they want without substantial votes from the public.

They want people to fear giving money to "woke" corporations because it makes them seem like the only source of real truth, and objectivity. They're the voices of reason in a world that's all against you. Then, you'll be willing to pay for their subscription streaming service, and their subscription streaming service for kids, and their merch, and their chocolate, and their razors, et cetera et cetera.

They want you to associate buying products as the way to define yourself, because when you so strongly identify with their politics, you'll spend as much money as you can signaling to those around you that you don't support the "woke" agenda through your wallet, you only support those who truly embody your cause. Giving them money becomes a symbol of your values.

And of course, they wouldn't get any sales without this as a selling point. If they just start a razor brand, not affiliated with their political ventures, who's gonna buy? Their razors are effectively the same price as Gilette's, just without the likely higher standard of quality and availability in physical retail locations.

But when they combine all three of those tactics I mentioned to make their target demographic believe they need these razors to display their values, stop a perceived evil agenda, and make their voice heard... well, then you've got a good revenue stream.

Because they're not in it for profit. It's a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their "successful business" to prove that they're correct. They'd still do it even if it wasn't profitable just to push their preferred narrative.

They'll never get a huge chunk of the market, but the customers they will have will be loyal and can be leveraged to sell other stuff to. Wouldn't surprise me if these razors are just repackaged stuff from another brand.

Cause it's probably a shit product and they have no USP other than "woke bad".

I just had a look at their website, it's pretty clear the whole thing is a pisstake. All part of the show.

It's also funny because most of my heavy conservative coworkers all have beards, trucks, and country stuff because that's the image.

Now that I think about it, quite a few are bald and shave their heads, sooo... Maybe that's an angle they could shoot for? Those could be some wild ads.

Not only is it not, its not even the only product marketed this way. Off the top of my head I've heard of anti woke coffee, beer, phones, foods... I don't remember what any of them are called because that's not a good use of brain space.

So, what happened is Harry's Razors used to run ads on the Daily Wire, then pulled them because...... They're the daily wire, basically. The guy who owns the daily wire took it personally and launched Jeremy's razors to stick it to em.

It's definitely satire, have a look at their ads. It's just a giant pisstake.

everyone in the US should live in a giant city called Metropolis powered by Niagara Falls

What

Didn't even build me up for it. Right at the first sentence.

The razors are actually pretty good. They're solidly on-par with comparable brands. All designs should be ergonomic, human friendly.

I generally agree, I love me a good DE safety razor. 👍🏻

How else would you explain those companies that put a rainbow on their logo for a few weeks every year?

Shitposting is just default lemmy community now

It is kinda funny though

Today on Philosophy with Lemmy:

If one attempts to make a shitpost, and does it with poor skill or malicious intent, is it not in fact a shitpost just the same?

This is some absolutely god tier shitposting, taking the piss out of conservatives. I recommend taking a look at their website, it's amazing.

And also liberals.

You'll find that a lot of posts around here aren't shitposts

I mean it's pretty common. I've not eaten at Chick Fil A for years or shopped in a Hobby Lobby since the religious health insurance crap. Just two big examples. Many people choose to not support companies that are in blatant opposition to their values. And me not buying at hobby lobby did mean I purchased my supplies from an alternate vendor. So I could say I bought from alternate vendor to strike back at the conservative culture...

Oh thank god, I'd just assumed I was old now and this was a young person thing.

That would be fiscally conservative when what they really want is to ban gay people and immigrants
